My point in mentioning that was to attempt to discourage someone from
latching onto that question and diverting the real issue in my post.
Apparently, I was unsuccessful.

And, yes, common small arms and rudimentary weapons can have a very
effective impact. Look at Vietnam, Irag, etc.


Not really sure what you mean. The folks in Vietnam were NOT limited to
"common small arms and rudimentary weapons" (I'd hardly call a SAM site a
"rudimentary weapon", for example). In Iraq, the folks causing trouble
aren't coming close to taking over the country, nor will they ever.

Try again?

Pete
